We all know that some decisions are difficult difficult lemon difficult, but others are quite easy when you see instant political advantage and a modicum of morals are not necessary.... just follow the whips.

This is a list of the 78 Labour MPs who in 2003 voted against an amendment that declared the reasons for the war against Iraq as 'unproven' but voted against humanitarian action against Syria in any shape or form because they felt they didn't have enough evidence to proceed.

Now I have a lot of time for MPs of all parties of both sides of the debate who voted with their consciences and principles.

However, the above list falls accurately and neatly into the copper-bottomed shits category.

Update:

I've now got the full list of Labour MPs from Hansard and amended the above list and figures. The following Members, whilst they voted in 2003, are not recorded as turning up to vote this time.Hazel Blears, Ben Bradshaw, Gordon Brown, Ann Clwyd, Ian Davidson, Peter Hain, David Hanson, Siobhain McDonagh, Meg Munn, Dawn Primarolo, John Spellar.
Has anyone actually seen Gordon Brown recently?

About Me

Once I was a boy, which seems funny to me. Yes, I threw my stones, read my books, climbed those trees.
What can I say to you mister?
Yes, I've been drinking again. You can beat my brains, but don't kiss me again.
I've always been like this, since I was young, I'm a truculent bigot, I revel in scum.
